So daft in everything he does or says. Animal

Come to think of it Ambo is just being paid back in his own coin...when he told the priest back then to pack outof his official residence within 24hrs cos of his wife...he was power drunk...mow a power drunk Tinubu is about to send him packing...

And the game begins. Lalastically.

Lagosians should ask; why is Tinubu always at loggerhead with his tomboys ? He used Ambode to fight Fasola dirty in style now,it is the turn of Ambode to experience the bitter pill..when a good boy suddenly become bad boy something must have gone wrong . This time around ,Atiku is set to catch in on this to take power from the power brokers..

The end of Tinubu dynasty in Lagos is very near!



I would vote for Ambode in any party,not a stooge.

Good governance has no party limitations.

To me, Ambode doesn't perform as expected, even for him to do maintenance of his predecessors he fail, all places are very dirty in Lagos via his decision to rubbish LAWMA and PSP, even to do maintenance of beautification of Lagos that made Lagos looked nice during fashola regime, all the gardens has turned to bush, his transportation policy is worst, go to General hospitals in Lagos not effective like Fashola regime, I can testify that he performed on roads new construction but getting 'A' on one F. on others, I think he fail.

The scenario that played out in the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the build-up to the reelection of Babatunde Raji Fashola, former governor of Lagos, is repeating itself as the chances of his successor, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, who is seeking a second term is slim.

Daily Independent had last week exclusively reported that Ambode may have incurred the wrath of some elders in the party who felt shortchanged by his administration.

Sources even alleged that the demand by Bola Tinubu, National Leader of APC, during the last stakeholders’ meeting of the party on August 14 that the Lagos State chapter will go for direct primaries is targeted at the governor.

As at Tuesday, all the 20 local government chairmen and 37 Local Council Development Areas’ (LCDAs) chairmen in Lagos have endorsed the governorship ambition of a dark horse, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a former Commissioner for Establishment, Training and Pensions, who is now the Managing Director of the Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSDPC).

Daily Independent gathered that the Nomination and Expression of Interest forms were purchased for Sanwo-Olu by the Mandate Group, a group of party leaders and local government chairmen loyal to Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

In a viral video circulating on Tuesday which was seen by Daily Independent, Asipa Kaoli Olusanya, the APC State Vice Chairman, Lagos East Senatorial District, said their leader, Tinubu, has instructed them that Sanwo-Olu is the next governor of Lagos State.

Speaking further, Olusanya, who was a former Commissioner for Agric in Lagos State added that it was Tinubu who instructed them to queue behind Babatunde Fashola in 2006, queue behind Governor Ambode during the 2015 election and now support Sanwo-Olu as the candidate for APC in the 2019 elections.

He said, “In 2006, we were in the council, cabinet of Lagos State. We have a large number of aspirants wanting to be governor. When Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) gave the signal, those of us who believe that this is a visionary leader who can be trusted, because it is God who appoints a leader in a season. This season, this is the man whom God appoints and we all accepted.

“Where (he) Tinubu directed us then, many protested then that his preferred candidate doesn’t know anybody in the party, be it ward, women, or party leader. Then, we went to Adebola House, it was a serious fight but our oga (leader) insisted that this is my preferred candidate who will succeed me as governor of Lagos State? Did we enjoy him or not? We enjoyed him because he performed creditably well.

“During the 2015 election, our oga again gave signal. Some people again protested, saying this person you are canvassing for the position is just a civil servant. Each time oga makes recommendation or say this is where we are going, some of us who believe in him, we don’t question it.

“We follow it and we have never regretted it. This one that oga has again given us and we accepted it because we believe our oga and we believe in God because it is God that chooses a leader in any season. The leader God has chosen for us, this one he has given us as his preferred candidate, we will be successful.

“We may be wondering why is this so? But if we yield to our boss’ direction wholeheartedly, we will be happy at the end of it. His preferred candidate right now is our man, our brother, our son, our member, our friend. It is the person Jagaban hands over to us as his choice, we will follow. By the grace of God and the support of the people of Lagos State, we will assume the leadership in the State House by God’s grace. Sanwo-Olu will sit as the next governor of Lagos State. If he assumes the position, none of us will be missing in action”.

Olusanya’s position was corroborated by Cardinal James Odunmbaku, the former Deputy Chairman of APC in Lagos, who emphatically said, “Honourable Babajide Sanwo-Olu is the incoming governor of Lagos State”.

Speaking with our correspondent on Tuesday, a local government chairman who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they have respect for Ambode as governor but their ultimate loyalty as far as Lagos politics is concerned goes to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is the political godfather of the state.

The female council boss when asked about the earlier endorsement of Ambode by the 57 council chairmen in the state said, “Yes, we all endorsed Ambode for second term given the fact that he performed and the tradition in the state since 1999 where serving governors are asked to return. But now that our party leaders have withdrawn support for the governor, we have no option than to toe that line”.

Tinubu is not God. I guess he has reached his time limit. Ambode should try and secure ADC or SDP ticket since pdp has given Otedola their ticket. Goodbye to Tinubu.

No ethnic grouo in Lagos is more than 40%

so saying Igbos are 2/3 is a fallacious statement

At your age kermit da frog is ordering you about? Awon oponu.

If Lagos APC controlled by tinubu fails to give ambode the ticket for reelection I see the end of the tinubu/APC dynasty in Lagos.
Ambode should jejeli port to the PDP or another party....
We are solidly behind ambode.....

velocity25:
Tinubu is so a power drunk

This political calculation by him may actually backfire .

tinubu may be really miscalculating, ambode has done tremendously well and no matter how small they may be ,he now has his own supporters. Bringing out an unknown person against a popular candidate and who is even still the sitting governor is somewhat a great gamble

The battle line s drawn between Tinubu and all Lagosians.
Let's see who owns Lagos. Whether its Tinubu or every citizen of Lagos.

If that dark horse emerges Apc candidate and Ambode did not defects to another party.
That means Pdp will take over Lagos.

austineabba:
people like you is why this country is backward. even the opposition party knows how Ambode is transforming Lagos State. Does his faith matters?

No christian will rule Lagos again mark my words. Ambode biting finger that fed him

In trust and love Jagaban

You stink like your post.

Tinubu about to commit political hara-kiri

meolaniyi:
He is visionary leader

Visionary indeed alot of you guys claiming this and that are not even anywhere near him.
For those that have the opportunity to come close to him knows him well.
I like him but am beginning to feel that his overbearing attitude is getting out of hand.
No man is an island forever.

Sleekfingers:
Ambode cannot decamp. Which party pdp? Pdp is dead in Lagos. But if the decamp he will be destroying his political career.

I don't think tinubu will that stupid not to use ambode. Not using or impeaching an incumbent governor will be a disastrous call. And that will give the opposition party the opportunity.

Tinubu should think twice.

You don't even know what you're saying.
You said if ambode decamp he will destroy his political career cus opposition is dead in Lagos.
Again you said if APC fails to use ambode, it will be disastrous, cus it will give the opposition, the opportunity.

You're a confused person.

meolaniyi:
mention one Oba in Lagos that is not a Muslim in Lagos State. Lagos is a muslim state. Its the visitors that make up the christian population

Oba akran of badagry is a Christian same as elegbeda of egbeda. So many of them

papijulah:
Oba akran of badagry is a Christian same as elegbeda of egbeda. So many of them

They have a new Egbeda king?thought that one passed on?

Power belong to God. Tinubu just make himself to be uneccessary Godfather. Compared with Ambode, Tinubu eight years in governance didn't performed up to Ambodes three and half years. Why now kicking against him. Rubbish.
